Job Title: OTR Class A CDL Driver

Company: Trucking People

Location: Lansing, MI

Pay: $1600 – 1800 per month

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate translating to $1600 – $1800 per month for an OTR Class A CDL Driver in Lansing, MI, appears to be significantly below the industry standards for this role. Typically, OTR drivers earn between $1,200 and $1,800 per week, which translates to approximately $5,200 to $7,800 per month, depending on experience, routes, and company policies. The expected pay should align more closely with these figures, taking into consideration the demands of long-haul driving, including time away from home, irregular hours, and vehicle maintenance responsibilities. Therefore, the offered rate is not competitive and may hinder recruitment efforts in a market where many drivers seek better compensation.
